On the way to work

A beautiful rendition - this was the third time she had sung it this morning, and I thought I had better capture it. Of course - she wanted to look at the video halfway through the song, and we got the very short version of ABCD, but still -- very cute.

Cheeky monkeys

Will and Bronte hanging out on the kitchen bench

A very big girl now

In her own bed! As soon as it was set up, she requested sleeping in there. It also helps to have special Dora sheets. Unfortunately, the sleeping alone part has not yet eventuated - maybe soon.

Molly and Tadhg check out the new pad

Kate's trampoline got the thumbs up

Relaxing by the flames

It's a hard life when you have a cozy chair, the fire going, and a book to read

The three 2s

Bronte, Will and Ava - very difficult to capture in the garden.

Farewells

A special day today as we said farewell to Great Uncle Bill.

22 yards

Actually, the new hallway is slightly longer than a cricket pitch and perfect for timed sprints, soccer matches, and bike riding

First fire

First fire in the new house. Very exciting.

2 years, 3 months

We moved out of Nanna's today and back home - and the computer has not yet been hooked up, but the relevant photo will come. This month, Bronte has mastered the art of bubble blowing. She can also count to 8 in Spanish (though still doesn't say anything in class). She can name most colours (no longer just green!), and has started to use a knife and fork - with varied success. She bestows ownership onto most items - they are generally hers ("my car", "my blanket") but sometimes we get a look in. She has become a very competent climber - much to her father's distress.

At the Ekka

We had a great day at the Ekka - going to see EVERYTHING. And I thought Bronte better have the full Ekka experience.

The first dagwood dog. Demolished.




The first ferris wheel ride - loved it.


The first strawberry sunday - hmm, delicious!

Noosa poses

Winter sand

Life is tough during a Brisbane winter

The joy of running (then rolling) down sand dunes.

New pram

The old pram was beyond saving. The new one was instantly loved.


Checking in to see how Nanna like the pram action.
